Roy Schestowitz declares de Icaza is a Microsoft employee. Let's compare
resumes shall we?

Roy's sole contribution to OSS : http://iuron.com/
Miguel's Wiki entry : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_de_Icaza

Conclusion? Roy is a liar and a fraud and a bitter little man who
belittles hie betters because of his jealousy.

You are all mouth and no trousers Roy. You should be ashamed of
yourself. Miguel does more for Linux and OSS in a day than you do in a
month of Sundays.
